In Their Own Words…

Frank M:
“When my boss found me sleeping at my desk, I said to myself, ‘That’s the final straw. Go to the doctor.’” 

Walter B: 
“We have a big family, but I got no pleasure from our get-togethers anymore.  My wife had to pinch me all the time just to keep me from falling asleep.”

Walter M:
“I work as a field rep, so I’m used to driving long distances every day.  Recently I have simply nodded off while driving.  Horrible.  The last time I heard the horn of an oncoming truck just in time to wrench the wheel in the other direction.”
